Yamaha backs hydrogen as green fuel option for carbon neutrality
In Japan, Japan Times reported that Yamaha is backing hydrogen as a clean and viable option for reaching carbon neutrality and will develop it as a source of fuel.
President and CEO Yoshihiro Hidaka, said: “We would like to keep many possibilities to achieve carbon neutrality.”
“Among Japan’s two-wheeler manufacturers, there were hardly any testing hydrogen in addition to electric technology,” Hidaka said. “So we took the lead and built the facility to test battery technology and hydrogen, as well as carbon-neutral fuel,” he said, referring to Yamaha’s dedicated research facility.
Yamaha developed hydrogen-powered combustion engines for Toyota’s Corolla H2 Concept that became the world’s first liquid-hydrogen race car when it entered a 24-hour event at Fuji International Speedway in Shizuoka in May, according to the report.
